Book Synopsis
The brand new thriller from Diana Wilkinson, author of 4 Riverside Close

I’m not being paranoid. It’s all there in the crossword clues…in black and white. There’s no doubt the threat is real. Today, the answers spell out my murder.
May Third. Amanda. Silver Birch. Noontime. Assassination.


Is Nathan, my estranged crossword-setter husband, really planning to kill me? Or is it someone closer to home?

I check the door is bolted, slither to the ground, and count down the seconds to noon. There’s nothing left to do, and no one I can call. Who’d believe me anyway? The lady on the ground floor has already left the building, and my new boyfriend is on holiday. Or is he?

A tread of footsteps. A rap at the door, and I close my eyes, hold my breath...

A smart and unsettling psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Shari Lapena and Claire Douglas
'A fast paced, edge of the seat thriller that's extremely well executed. I was gripped from the very first page!' L H Stacey

'A beautifully written thriller where even the clues are out to get you!' Gemma Rogers

'Wilkinson delivers with this gripping and original thriller' Keri Beevis

'...this didn't disappoint. Clues upon clues upon clues kept me glued to the story. What a very clever book … not a read for the faint-hearted!' Valerie Keogh

'With a unique plot and superb writing, Ms Wilkinson has nailed this one! I'd give it 10 stars if I could.' J A Baker
